The language of Bangladesh, West Bengal and parts of Tripura and Assam, Bengali is the sixth most spoken language in the world.
A member of the Indo-Aryan family, with its origins in Sanskrit, it has over 230 million speakers. Published in 1825, this
is the third volume of a revised three-part dictionary of Bengali, compiled by the Baptist missionary William Carey (1761-1834)
during his time in India. Its purpose was to assist Carey's European students at Fort William College in Calcutta, and he
endeavoured to include every simple word used in the language, along with all the compound terms found in Bengali literature.
Containing over 100,000 entries in Bengali script with English translations, and providing etymologies for most words, it
remains of great interest to linguists today. Carey's reference works on Marathi and Sanskrit are also reissued in this series

The Indo-Aryan language of Sanskrit is the primary language of Hinduism and also a scholarly language of Buddhism. Dating
back to the second millennium BCE, it is considered to be the parent of most modern languages of India, and remains central
to work in Indo-European studies, philology and linguistics today. First published in 1806, this is a comprehensive grammar
of Sanskrit, compiled by the Baptist missionary William Carey (1761–1834) during his time in India. Its purpose was to make
the language accessible to European learners, presenting its complex systems of verb conjugation, compound words and affixation
in a straightforward way. Reissued here in a two-volume set, Volume 2 contains Books 4 and 5 of the work (covering word formation
and syntax), a detailed appendix on the roots of Sanskrit words, and an index. Carey's reference works on Marathi and Bengali
are also reissued in this series

Marathi, an official language of Maharashtra and Goa, is among the twenty most widely spoken languages in the world. The southernmost
Indo-Aryan language, it is also spoken in Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, and Daman and Diu, and is believed to be over
1,300 years old, with its origins in Sanskrit. First published in 1805, this grammar of Marathi (then known as Mahratta) was
compiled by the Baptist missionary William Carey (1761-1834) during his time in India. Its purpose was to assist Carey's European

examples. Containing detailed descriptions of Marathi's Devanagari alphabet, its word and sentence formation, and its complex
tense, voice, gender, agreement, inflection, and case systems, the work remains an invaluable resource for linguists today.
